Termites pose a persistent threat to homes, especially in regions like Texas, where they burrow underground for long distances in search of moisture and wood. Concrete slabs offer strong protection, but small cracks that form around plumbing penetrations create vulnerable entry points. This episode of the Build Show examines a stainless steel mesh barrier installed around pipe penetrations before concrete is poured, designed to block termite access without corroding over time. The product includes marked, inspectable installation points and protective housing for areas like curbless showers where concrete coverage is incomplete. It's presented as a low-cost addition relative to the long-term protection it offers against termite damage and foundation issues.
